1.3 Mil-SF Mall Opening Heralds Coming of Chandler

CHANDLER, AZ-Shoppers and curiosity seekers line up today for a glimpse of Chandler Fashion Square, a 1.3 million-sf venue that marks the emergence of Chandler as a thriving hub instead of a sleepy bedroom community.

CHANDLER-Today’s grand opening of the 1.3 million-sf Chandler Fashion Square is expected to draw hundreds of shoppers and further boost Chandler’s image and drawing power for other major developments.

The mall is positioned at the southwest corner of the Price Freeway section of Loop 101 and Chandler Boulevard. The anchor line-up is Nordstrom, Robinson’s-May, Dillard’s and Sears plus 160 other stores and restaurants and a 20-screen movie theater. It’s the first regional mall to be opened in the Valley in nearly a decade and it’s transformed that area of Chandler into a thriving destination point.

Once a sleepy bedroom suburb of Phoenix, Chandler is now one of the most appealing locations for commercial development. It still has available land, continues to capture a good share of new residents and is becoming high-tech development. Chandler Fashion Square has prompted a wave of commercial development along the boulevard, including retail strip centers, power centers and office and industrial development.
